Sen. Bradley: Repealing Concealed Carry Permit Requirement Will Make N.H. Safer

http://nhpr.org/post/sen-bradley-repealing-concealed-carry-permit-requirement-will-make-nh-safer

The Senate Judiciary committee is expected to hear testimony Thursday afternoon on a bill that would repeal the requirement to obtain a license to carry a concealed gun.

The hearing is likely to draw a large crowd of gun rights advocates and those who have concerns about loosening the state’s firearms regulations.

Wolfeboro Republican and Senate Majority Leader Jed Bradley is the bill’s prime sponsor.

He joined Morning Edition to talk about his proposal.

There are only four states that don’t require a permit to carry a concealed gun – Arizona, Wyoming, Vermont, and Alaska. Why add New Hampshire to that list?

Right now in New Hampshire, anybody that is legally entitled to own a legal firearm can carry it openly. And so allowing people to carry a concealed weapon, as most people choose to do as opposed to openly carrying a weapon, just makes common sense to me.

One of the states you cited – Vermont – has had the right to carry a concealed weapon without a permit for years and it happens to be the safest state in the nation. So I actually think that if we allow what’s called constitutional carry, in other words without a permit, we’ll be an even safer state than we are today.

The bill:

Also States that allow open carry, have very low crime rates...
